Assign Native Post Data to a Skin Element

Step 1:

Edit/Add an element inside the Item Skin Editor, wrapping the post data attribute in percentage characters.

Step 2:

Add the following code to your theme’s “functions.php” file.

add_filter('essgrid_post_meta_handle', 'eg_add_post_option');
add_filter('essgrid_post_meta_content', 'eg_add_post_content', 10, 4);
 
function eg_add_post_option($post_options){
 
// where 'author_id' is the attribute of the data to pull in
$post_options['author_id'] = array('name' => 'Author ID');
 
return $post_options;
 
}
 
function eg_add_post_content($meta_value, $meta, $post_id, $post){
 
// where 'author_id' is the attribute of the data to pull in
if($meta === 'author_id'){
 
$post_author_id = get_post_field( 'post_author', $post_id );
 
// return the post data value, and wrap it in any HTML you want
return '<div class="author-id">Author ID = '.$post_author_id.'</div>';
 
}
 
return $meta_value;
 
}
